The U.S. and U.K. have long been strong allies, and for the first time, women are poised to simultaneously lead both nations, notes USA Today. 
Hillary Clinton is deemed the most likely candidate to win the 2016 presidential election, and there is much speculation she will choose Senator Elizabeth Warren as her second in command. 
In the wake of the Brexit vote and the resignation of Prime Minister David Cameron, the U.K. is in the market for new leadership as well. 
While many have entered that race, British Home Secretary Theresa May is emerging as the favorite, reports The Guardian. 
If all of what appear to be the most likely scenarios come to pass, the U.S. and Europe will have quite a few female leaders. 
Women already occupy top government spots in many nations including Germany, Norway, and Denmark, according to The Independent.
